T205 w/biggest border I have seen....

Leon · #1 03-21-2012, 08:08 AM

Have you ever bought a card because you liked how big the border is? I know this one is miscut but holy smokes, that top border is a fatty!! Have you ever seen a bigger top border on a T205? Please show one if you have one..

Cool. Yeah, you would expect to see a nice chunk of the card above it.

Here's another fatty top-border T205 - looks like it needs to be in your fat-border collection: T205 Clarke

Thanks Scott. I think miscuts are neat. I have this one marked. I don't like to pay very much for them (I am cheap) but when I can pick them up for not much over a regular common, I like to add them to the collection. My only concern is I am so varied in my collection I am ~~going~~ broke.

Looking at that border, I thought it might have been the top card on a sheet but the back shows the next card. Suprised the next card doesn't show on the front. So, did you win the auction? The price was nice if you did.

That Flynn T205 might have been on the top row of the sheet, hence why there's no one above him?

here's a couple i own...

Just picked up these two thanks to a fellow board member.

Does side border count?

Leon,

I bought this T205 becuase I liked the look of the miscut.

Lots of big borders on the T205s shown. Here are a few more anomalies....one with a nice miscut border. Thanks for showing the examples guys!!

I had a SGC 5.5 Lennox that had a very large border. This is all I have to show. BTW is it me or does a lot of Leech cards have bigger top boarders?

When ATC started creating the T205 set, they must have hired a new guy to handle color and registration, and fired all the experienced cutters.

Here's one with an odd printer mark at the bottom.

Hi Scott,
I think these marks are fairly common on the Minor Leaguers due to the lack of gold on the bottom border. Here are a few of mine.
Be well Brian
